FDA: 73 people get salmonella from cereal; investigation underway

(FOX 13) - More than 70 people in 31 states have fallen ill with salmonella as a result of eating Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal, according to the FDA and CDC.

Yesterday, the Kellogg Company announced a voluntary recall of its Honey Smacks cereal, in both 15 and 23-ounce boxes with certain "best if used by" dates.

Today, the FDA says it is launching an investigation into a salmonella outbreak likely due to the cereal. The agency says to throw away any Honey Smacks cereal of any size and with any "best if used by date."
